Local Water Projects

We have implemented a pre-qualification program to determine bidder responsibility prior to submission of bids for select projects. Bidders for designated construction projects must be pre-qualified prior to submitting bids. It is mandatory that all licensed contractors who intend to submit bids for these designated projects, fully complete the following:

Technical Requirements: Request for Qualifications - Part IV for the applicable project category

Pre-qualification application packages may be submitted at any time throughout the year. We require a minimum of 30 days to process a pre-qualification application following submittal of all required documents, including timely receipt of Reference Questionnaires. Pre-qualification approval will remain valid for two (2) calendar years from the posted approval date. Licensed contractors who intend to renew their pre-qualification status must submit new updated Parts I, II, and III, including new references. An updated Part IV for previously approved project categories is not required for renewal.

Estimated Contract Values and Estimated Advertisement Dates may be subject to change.

A separate pre-qualification process with project-specific Request for Qualifications will be conducted for each Stand Alone Regional Water Project. Links to the RFQ will be issued 3-6 months prior to the Estimated Advertisement Date. Potential bidders are encouraged to submit pre-qualification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of pre-qualification status well in advance of upcoming projects.

For questions on pre-qualification, please send an email to: prequal@sfwater.org or leave a voicemail at (415) 551-4603.
